What are you drinking now?

Wow, that’s very insightful. I use Whirlfloc and gelatin. Now I have something else to think about. I too like crystal clear beer when it’s appropriate to style.

Thank you.

From where I stand, it doesn't seem all that insightful. It seems more like a collection of failures and disasters.

Anyway, I intend to let that intentional fiasco of a cream ale that I made with soft water and Nottingham sit for a further week in the keg. It'll get clearer, but it won't drop drop clear. Next weekend I intend to squirt a bit of gypsum and salt through the gas in port and see what happens. At that point, I suspect it'll drop clear, very quickly.

HB Saison. Delicious. Pic makes it look much darker and hazier than it is.

Pale yellow with crystal clarity - glass is sweating making it look worse.

HB NEIPA. Getting ooooold!

 

[BongoYodeler]

Brought back from a recent trip to Minnesota. Dream Yard, from Modest Brewing. A 7.1% hazy brewed with Citra and Sultana hops.

[505-Brewer]

Bet it tastes delicious even at that price!

I needed bottles. Saw this in the box and figured, "Can't get hurt with Two Hearted." ...Then I had to pay for it. Ouch.

My beer after mowing the lawn… the smaller glass is for basting the roast.

Homebrewed lavender cream ale that my brother brewed. It's really good, the lavender smells more like rosehips to me than the plethora of lavender scented cleaning products or candles. The lavender adds a great floral taste to the beer as well and the bitterness is there but really well balanced.

I'm almost kinda pissed that my younger brother brewed such an awesome beer... Nawww, I'm proud of him.

OMG!!! Kenny Brown!

Your beers always look great

Your beers always look great

Thank you very much.

 

[wetmk]

Thank you very much.

And the ones I sampled were very well executed. Your shake porter is now #3 on my beer making schedule.

I have something like this up next. I want an amber lager. Approx 10 srm. But not necessarily a vienna. Maybe an american amber lager. I’m thinking of using British pale ale malt and 60 crystal with Perle and Saaz for hops and an American lager yeast.

 

[camonick]

Still sneaking samples of my new HB Pilsner.

You could probably make beer money if you give the cat its own instagram or whatever the kids use these days.

One last one. I don’t have that many. He’s so much fun and so easy to work with.

Beer... is there anything it can't do!

If won’t drive me home from a brewery, but I generally have a DD.
Drinking some coffee now.

 

[bwible]

Thanks! Unlike with beer, I rack to secondary with every mead. I don’t rack before it’s at a minimum of 80% clear. I rack to get off the yeast and to add stabilizers.

One of the absolute game changers is to put 6 grams/gallon of Bentonite clay in the must before yeast pitch.

Weller is one of the short supply limited releases every year that we have to put our names into a drawing for and literally win a lottery for the right to purchase one bottle here in PA. Very hard to come by.

Beer while brewing a pretty simple lager. Gonna give warm fermenting 34/70 a try since I meant to brew this one back in the winter in the other house, but life.
